Introduction to Majordomo
Majordomo is a program that lets you send messages to and receive email messages
from an existing mail list. If you send a message to the list, then
everyone who is subscribed receives a copy. Likewise, if someone else
sends a message to the list, you as a subscriber will receive a copy.
Majordomo controls a list of addresses for a mail transport system (like sendmail
or smail) to handle. Majordomo itself performs no mail delivery (though it has scripts to format
and archive messages).
Sending Messages to Others Via a Majordomo List
To send a message to others, first compose the message. Send the message to:
listname@listserv
For the LPV Surface Radiation list, for example, you would specify:
ceos_lpv_rad@listserv.gsfc.nasa.gov
Remember to send the message to the list name, NOT to Majordomo itself (as you
would a subscription request).
Don't forget to fill in the "Subject:" area of the message with one or a few short words.
Note: You can't send a message to a list that you are not subscribed to. If you have multiple or updated email addresses, you have to be careful what
you use when sending. If you send a message to a list, and you don't get the message yourself, your
message didn't go out.
